A full agent framework. A working IKE application.

At Omni Arcs Product Studio, we built Hosted OpenClaw to put IKE's application model to work: a full agent framework, dedicated hosting, Personas, knowledge, authentication, and shared access in one managed service. You get OpenClaw's capabilities in IKE today. It is also a working example of the applications our studio can build and operate with the platform. Bring us the complex knowledge work you want to tackle.

IKE connects people to OpenClaw sessions and the Persona foundation. OpenClaw owns its framework sessions and memory. Ikentic manages the dedicated hosting.

Reusable personas

Define role, tone, behavior, boundaries, default knowledge, and operating rules beyond one-off prompts.

Locus-backed Collections

Organize documents and other knowledge into named Collections that can be assigned in the IKE workspace.

Skills with permissions

Assign tools and workflow capabilities with explicit permission, purpose, and boundary metadata.

Direct chat in IKE

Start and continue OpenClaw conversations from the same IKE workspace.

IKE authentication and shared access

Use your IKE account and give your team a shared place to access Hosted OpenClaw.

Build Agent Applications

Build a purpose-built IKE application around an OpenClaw agent, adding screens, workflow state, and controlled actions for the job.

Why hosted OpenClaw?

Start OpenClaw in IKE and begin chatting.

A self-hosted setup can require Node.js, API keys, gateway configuration, Docker, ports, and command-line tools. Hosted OpenClaw handles that setup so you can work with the agent from IKE.

No local gateway setup

Open IKE chat to start a conversation with your OpenClaw agent.

Use your IKE workspace

Manage Personas, Knowledge, Skills, Tools, and Permissions from the same interface.

Keep the agent in one place

Keep the OpenClaw interaction in the managed IKE workspace instead of moving between gateway tools.

Use OpenClaw channels

Use OpenClaw channels alongside direct chat inside IKE.

Why use OpenClaw through IKE

Keep OpenClaw in the workspace your team already uses.

Start the agent, choose a Persona, attach Knowledge, and chat from the same interface. Ikentic manages the hosted setup so your team does not have to operate a local gateway.

Hosted OpenClaw provides a full OpenClaw installation with tools, skills, channels, memory and sessions, connected to your IKE workspace. Configure the tools, channels and permissions your task needs.
